The Norton Simon Museum presents a special installation of Hans Memling's Portrait of a Man, c. 1470–75, on loan from The Frick Collection in New York. Painted during the peak of the Bruges–based artist's portrait commissions, this handsome painting is a prime example of Memling's powerful style, and acquired in 1968, is a highlight of the Frick's northern paintings collection. On view from January 27 through April 30, 2012, this loan is part of an exchange program between The Frick Collection and the Norton Simon foundations. Its presentation at the Norton Simon Museum marks the painting's first appearance in California.
